Yes. Love that such a profound song came from such a silly dude. He is really hilarious and even most of his other vocal stuff is more upbeat. I love this song it was my aunt's fav. And like ty I have heard it done by many different people. This is a pretty amazing version.
@@wheresatari6242 my mom loved them too and I listened to all the Gaither stuff with her. The big get togethers. It's something I remember fondly about her last years...she really enjoyed all of them. Guy Penrod and Jake Hess. Gaither crowd is some solid musicians.
@@lethiapage4767 Yup. The Martins, the Crabbe's, and Phelps and everybody. Pretty sure they called them homecomings or something along those lines. A few years back they came to Cincy. My mom and dad couldn't afford it since they're on a fixed income. I bought them tickets as an early Christmas gift, and she cried. They still do those old shows on the pbs and cet channels where I live and she always watches. Good times.
I love hearing Mark sing this on his own without all the background vocal drowning him out. This group with him was good, but his singing comes from his heart. It doesn’t really need any addition to make it “more”. I’d like to see MRM react to Mark Lowry singing “Nothing to Prove”. ♥️
Wow! I’m shocked at your reaction. Yes, we’ve ALL heard this song thousands of times. I grew up in the church...this was sung every year. Heard MANY choirs do it. BUT...I truly think you are missing something here. The connection and emotion in this song is unmistakeable. Surely has something to do with the fact the original composer was singing it. I don’t know...you really surprise me occasionally. Just seems like you aren’t “plugged in” sometimes that allows you to experience a song on another plane. And man, if you’ve heard it sung like that before, I’d love for you to post a link to the video.
i'm glad you reacted to this song. this is the best version i have ever heard. others have recorded this, and even Mark has done quite a few different versions, but he way out did himself this time! Mark Lowry wrote the lyrics, and so he isn't left out, i'll note that Buddy Greene wrote the music. generally, i don't care for a cappella singing, but here it is done to perfection.
If you want a Pentatonix song, their original Run to You is amazing. I basically told my boyfriend if he could possibly not talk over the song, and I just sat in the passenger seat with my eyes shut and was transported (no pun intended) the entire time. I’ve also listened to it while a plane took off and it was amazing. The harmonies!!! It’s quite an experience. The bass in particular, wowzers. 😂
This group is A-one professional and super talented. And Mark is no slouch either. He holds his own. I can't get over how long he holds that note toward the end. This is my favorite version of this song besides the very simple duet Mark does with Buddy Greene as the two creators of this song.
The featured vocalist, Mark Lowry, actually wrote the lyrics to this song. He said he had a lot of questions to ask Mary when he gets to heaven. He wrote a few of them down and sent them to Buddy Greene. Buddy called him back the next day and sang this to him over the phone. Mark had Michael English record it first, but has since done a few different versions of his own.
I saw Mark Lowry with Guy Penrod and David Phelps (Gaither Vocal Band) perform this in Charlotte NC. When they hit the high part, the Coliseum rafters shook and dust floated down on the crowd! That was one Powerful musical phrase!
Love the seasonal song. Especially Christmas. Little Drummer Boy by the Mona Lisa Twins was just released on their channel. This song was original done by the David Bowie and Bing Crosby. Talk about 2 young ladies with talent, they have it. Check them out. :)
Mark Lowry also co-wrote another Christmas song--Mary Was the First One to Carry the Gospel. It's a really fun song by The Gaither Vocal Band. You guys should check it out.
This was nice. Yes lots of people cover it. Everyone seems to put their own twist to it. So something different would be for you to listen and react to some Redbone. I know I know I'm always asking but I swear you would enjoy it. They are so different from any other bacs from the 70's. In fact one of the founding members still performs as the group. Could you react to But Its Alright by Redbone? Others have done this but the lead vocals are tight. Thank you and God Bless
This is the future of every born again believer: Rev. 7:9 - "After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches int their hands."
Excellent rendition and super to see Mark Lowry in it. Very "full bodied," all the backup notes, great bass and soaring soprano. His original with Guy Penrod and co. is hard to beat also. Both are great. I've added this one to my playlist.
Thank you for this reaction video! I am biased when it comes to this song, the first time I heard it was (I think it was in '95, but I could be wrong) when Mark sang it while at a Gaither Gospel Event, he sang it the way he envisioned it, so that is my favorite version.
wow he see's the light it is not all about himself it's about being a messenger to bring people in to the platform where good tidings and lessons of the truth can be delivered from an even higher messenger LOL kudos to your wife . Her eyes wide open and maybe his. Thumbs up subscribed
As soon as this video came on I recognized the lead singer but couldn't for the life of me remember how I knew him or where I had seen him before. So of course I had to Google him and now I know where I have seen him. He always sang with the Gaither's and I they use to have a TV show on really late at night and I would occasionally flip onto that channel and then watch for a while. Great voice.
Bambam NJ, that lead singer was Mark Lowry who wrote the lyrics to this song. 7 years later, Buddy Greene wrote the music for it in one evening, called Mark and played what he had composed and sang it over the phone for him. Mark loved the music. Shortly after that they presented it to Michael English who was in the process of recording a Christmas album. Mark and Buddy took the song to him and he recorded it on that album, becoming the first of many singers who have recorded it. I will always prefer hearing Mark Lowry sing it though. It came from his heart.
Hey Check out David and his daughter Maggie Beth Phelps singing (Water) If your not familiar its in the Bible in the book of John 4:1-42, Where Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well and asks her for a drink of water woman and Jesus being a Jew seems wrong because Jews have nothing to do with Samaritans. The song is fantastic.
Voctave- singing " moon river" the only one i ever thought would be one tossing was Andy Williams. My mom.had the album with this song when I was growing up. Maybe react to Andy Williams singing moon river?,
The key difference here is that every sound you hear is produced by a human voice, not an instrument, not a synthesizer, not electronics, keyboards, woodwinds, guitars, violins, etc. etc...whatever. Some people appreciate that and most don't even know there is a difference.
Never heard this version of the song. I like the way Ceelo Greene sings it. I agree about those familiar songs though. I feel the same way about Amazing Grace.
Just discovered your channel. I love all of your reactions and how you react to such a wide range of music. My 2 favourite bands ever are Queen and Pentatonix. It would be amazing if you could react to PTX's version of Bohemian Rhapsody. It's all acapella and it combines my 2 loves. Thank you!
This became my new favorite song at Christmas - when Mark was with the Gaither Vocal Band. I think the choir/chorus is too "up" in the mix on this version imo.
Ooh, 'tis the season for Christmas Songs. Would you please react to Bad Religion's rendition of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" or "Little Drummer Boy"? Don't let the band name put you off, they do a wonderful melding of traditional sound mixed with a metal/punk-ish beat.
The best version i have heard is from Jonathon Smith its beautiful. I love the words but not the way it was sung. Not sure how to take you giving warning that not to be upset if you don't react to it.
Yes, Mark Lowery wrote it. Also he is a wonderful comedian. A clean comedian
Yes. Love that such a profound song came from such a silly dude. He is really hilarious and even most of his other vocal stuff is more upbeat. I love this song it was my aunt's fav. And like ty I have heard it done by many different people. This is a pretty amazing version.
Mark is great. The entire Gaither band in engrained in our household. Awesome.

"This sleeping child you're holding is the great, I AM..." That part gets me every. single. time.
Mark Lowery wrote the song so for him to be in this feels so right
The singer that "gets up there" is called Kate Lott. I think she could communicate with dolphins - amazing voice.
Wow! I’m shocked at your reaction. Yes, we’ve ALL heard this song thousands of times. I grew up in the church...this was sung every year. Heard MANY choirs do it.

I feel the same. I just don’t think MRN was plugged in with this either.
i'm glad you reacted to this song. this is the best version i have ever heard. others have recorded this, and even Mark has done quite a few different versions, but he way out did himself this time! Mark Lowry wrote the lyrics, and so he isn't left out, i'll note that Buddy Greene wrote the music. generally, i don't care for a cappella singing, but here it is done to perfection.
I love mark lowry. he sang with the gaithetr vocal band for a total of 20 yrs.
Such a beautiful version... I was having chills and crying at the same time!
Mark is an amazing singer, even with MS, and he wrote this song as well!
If you want a Pentatonix song, their original Run to You is amazing. I basically told my boyfriend if he could possibly not talk over the song, and I just sat in the passenger seat with my eyes shut and was transported (no pun intended) the entire time. I’ve also listened to it while a plane took off and it was amazing. The harmonies!!! It’s quite an experience. The bass in particular, wowzers. 😂
WOW! I've heard Mark sing it but not this version.
I love this song and they did a great job! Jordan Smith, who won The Voice, also does a great job with this song!
Wow! That was beautiful! I've always loved this song.
Mark Lowry wrote the song.
Ty, check out Disney Love Medley by Voctave and Kirsten Maldonado from Pentatonix.
I love him but my favorite backup for him is David Phelps and Guy Penrod.
This is a beautiful song and the lyrics are so thought provoking. I remember when Mark Lowry spoke about the birth of this song
Man, Ty, that coffee mug is huge!
I love Voctave and I'm so happy you reacted to them
Wow. Just WOW! One of my very favorite songs and my first time hearing this particular version.
Wow, fantastic arrangement and performance.
This group is A-one professional and super talented. And Mark is no slouch either. He holds his own. I can't get over how long he holds that note toward the end. This is my favorite version of this song besides the very simple duet Mark does with Buddy Greene as the two creators of this song.
Glad to see that you have a proper sized coffee cup.
This song makes me cry every time just thinking about the question and what Mary might have been thinking going through it all
Sang in an acapella group in high school, this took me back. Better times, coincidentally it was renaissance music 👍
My favorite Christmas song !
You should react to Voctave Disney songs.
yeah, you've heard it over a thousand times.....but you never would've heard it if Mark didn't write it.
Beautiful!!!!
Mark Lowry wrote "Mary Did You Know". Mark was mentored by Bill and Gloria Gaither. I love Mark's singing in this.
I never heard this song before, but it was beautiful.
There are many versions/singers to this song... Cee Lo Green, Clay Aiken, Pentatonix...and more... all are beautiful. Hard to pick a favorite.
Wow!!!
The featured vocalist, Mark Lowry, actually wrote the lyrics to this song. He said he had a lot of questions to ask Mary when he gets to heaven. He wrote a few of them down and sent them to Buddy Greene. Buddy called him back the next day and sang this to him over the phone.

Mark Lowry is the writer of this wonderful song!
Mark held that note to Narnia and back
I saw Mark Lowry with Guy Penrod and David Phelps (Gaither Vocal Band) perform this in Charlotte NC. When they hit the high part, the Coliseum rafters shook and dust floated down on the crowd! That was one Powerful musical phrase!
Nobody sings this song with as much feelings as Mark Lowry in my opinion, he wrote this song.
Beautiful song!! He's alive, by Dolly Parton.
Love Mark Lowry who is also part of the Gaither Vocal Band
I think that you need a bigger coffee cup. LOL!
NICE version! React to Karen Carpenter's version too. btw, Mary DID know...+++
Powerful!
How beautiful!!!
Love the seasonal song. Especially Christmas. Little Drummer Boy by the Mona Lisa Twins was just released on their channel. This song was original done by the David Bowie and Bing Crosby. Talk about 2 young ladies with talent, they have it. Check them out. :)

I get teared up every time I hear this. Firsts heard it on TBN some years back but not too far back
Featuring the song writer Mark Lowery 💕
I just "discovered" Voctave today. Wow! Where have I been!?
Holy coffee mug Batman!!! (Seriously don’t fall in)
I love, love, love this song. I don't care who sings it. IT IS POWERFUL!
First time I heard it like this by Mark Lowery. I heard it when he was younger on the Gaither show.
Very nice.
Yeah if you really want to be blown away check out their Disney songs they do.
Try Joe Bonamassa playing a Fender on O Holy Night! Amazing!
Beautiful! I get chills every time I hear it. Thanx for doin it. I think I still like Pentntonix version better but this was beautiful.
Beautiful!
Mark Lowry wrote that song.
Hey Check out David and his daughter Maggie Beth Phelps singing (Water) If your not familiar its in the Bible in the book of John 4:1-42, Where Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well and asks her for a drink of water woman and Jesus being a Jew seems wrong because Jews have nothing to do with Samaritans.

Yep. The lead singer in this also wrote it. Nobody does it like this
Voctave- singing " moon river" the only one i ever thought would be one tossing was Andy Williams. My mom.had the album with this song when I was growing up. Maybe react to Andy Williams singing moon river?,
I loved that version. Awesome.
Hold up! Did that woman just hit a whistle with her voice ???😮
That is the wonderful Kate Lott. She gets to wander around in the rafters because Tiffany Coburn sings the melody.
Mark Lowry is the one who wrote this song so I guess you could say this is the version that matters most.
The key difference here is that every sound you hear is produced by a human voice, not an instrument, not a synthesizer, not electronics, keyboards, woodwinds, guitars, violins, etc. etc...whatever. Some people appreciate that and most don't even know there is a difference.
Never heard this version of the song. I like the way Ceelo Greene sings it. I agree about those familiar songs though. I feel the same way about Amazing Grace.
One of the best versions - Mark Lowry wrote the song fer cryin’ upstairs!
Just discovered your channel. I love all of your reactions and how you react to such a wide range of music. My 2 favourite bands ever are Queen and Pentatonix. It would be amazing if you could react to PTX's version of Bohemian Rhapsody. It's all acapella and it combines my 2 loves. Thank you!
martinia mcbride does that better than anybody ever.
omg i would love to sing like them
First time I heard years back on a Kenny Rogers Christmas special.
Wow!!! Pentatonix and home free have competition. I saw this group does mostly Disney songs. I think Disney employees??
If I'm not wrong he wrote this song
Ty, did you know Mark Lowry wrote the song?
Mark wrote it
This became my new favorite song at Christmas - when Mark was with the Gaither Vocal Band. I think the choir/chorus is too "up" in the mix on this version imo.
Ooh, 'tis the season for Christmas Songs.
Would you please react to Bad Religion's rendition of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" or "Little Drummer Boy"? Don't let the band name put you off, they do a wonderful melding of traditional sound mixed with a metal/punk-ish beat.
Can u react to the Christmas shoes by new song
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can you react to Pentatonix Hallelujah
The best version i have heard is from Jonathon Smith its beautiful. I love the words but not the way it was sung. Not sure how to take you giving warning that not to be upset if you don't react to it.
O holy night by David Phelps or Jackie Evancho. Your mind will be blown by their voices.
Nope- you ain’t heard it unless you’ve heard “The Singing Contractors “...and they are contractors ...
Please, please do Christmas Shoes.... favorite Christmas song. Makes me cry every time I hear it.
Wish you had done this song with Panatonic.
Did you mean Pentatonix? If so I love it also!!!!!
From a strictly vocal technique standpoint, you haven't heard this version; not this clean, not this controlled, not this crisp.
check out a soldier's silent night. you will feel the heart felt meaning.
he has also been with the gaither group
My favorite religious song.
👏👏👏👏👏
Love this video and JESUS IS THE SON OF OUR LOVING GOD!!!
Originally sang by Kenny Rogers and Winona Judd.
What original song? Mark Lowery wrote and helped compose this song.
O Come All Ye Faithful by Voctave will slay you! :D
It's pronounced like octave.
You need to listen to him talk about when Jesus came to earth. Its funny. He is very funny
